I pitched a standard vial of WLP 400 into a 7 gallon batch of Belgian Wit (OG 1.048). I knew that I was under pitching, but I couldn't wait to get a starter going as I had to brew the day I did.
I know that I could buy another vial and pitch it be safe, but I'm cheap. My batch is at high krausen right now. Could I just skim off some of the krausen, make a starter from that, and then pitch it a couple days from now? Or should I just let it ferment out, see where I'm at, and then pitch some more once I've determined that I actually have a problem?
